Scriptures Regarding the Re-gathering and the Preservation ...
EDOM, PETRA AND THE REGATHERING AND PRESERVATION
OF ALL THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL IN THE LAST DAYS
THE RESTORATION OF YAHUWEH’S PEOPLE TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL:
The Covenant with Abraham: Genesis 12:1-3; 15:1-18; 15:1-18; 17:1-8, 19
Renewed with Isaac: Genesis 26:2-5
Renewed with Jacob (Israel): Genesis 28:1-4,13-15; 32:24-30; 35:10-12
The return of ALL of the tribes of Jacob (named “Israel” by Yahuweh) back to their homeland promised by Yahuweh, Elohim (God) of Israel, to Abraham, is one of the greatest signs that Yahushua, our Savior, is soon to return and establish His kingdom on earth.
Not only is the tribe of Judah (the Jewish people) returning to the Land, but also the tribe of Levi, and the tribe of Benjamin--the three tribes who comprise the House of Judah, the Southern Kingdom of His Land. Also, returning, in small numbers for now, is the first fruit remnant of the House of Israel--the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom--also called the House of Ephraim, or the House of Joseph. Judah holds the “scepter” of rulership for the tribes, but the youngest son of Joseph, Ephraim, holds the birthright position for all the tribes. The 10 northern tribes consist of the two sons of Joseph—Ephraim, and his older brother Manasseh, Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, and Zebulun. Most of the tribe of Judah can be numbered by documentation. The House of Israel is like the sand of the sea, and the stars of heaven, which cannot be numbered. They have no documentation as to what tribe they are from. This House is often referred to as the “lost sheep of the House of Israel”. Yahuweh changed Jacob’s name to “Israel”.
In Genesis 48:8-20, Jacob says that Ephraim and Manasseh would be known by his name—Israel. Therefore, the northern 10 tribes are called “House of Ephraim, House of Israel, or House of Joseph”—all synonymous. The southern three tribes were called “House of Judah”—after the predominant tribe of Judah.
The 10 tribes, scattered into every nation on earth, were never really lost, except to themselves. Because of great sin, this “House” of 10 tribes was scattered into all nations, scattered in among the gentiles (“gentile”: heathen, barbarians, pagan, stranger, foreigner, alien) and lost their identity. Many of these people are now called: “the sons of the living God”. (Hosea 1:10; 3:4-5) Many are now finding that identity and coming home to the Land of Israel. Most of these “lost tribes” of biological Israel are in “Christian nations”.
The characteristics of Jacob’s seed are very evident in these “lost ones”—prosperous, military might, schools, hospitals, charity organizations, living in the most beautiful and beneficial areas of the earth, mighty in wealth, in intelligence and power.
Right along with the restoration of the nation of Israel in 1948, and the re-claiming of Jerusalem in 1967, this ingathering of the “whole house of Jacob”—all the tribes--which began before 1900, points to the final days before Messiah’s return. This is addressed in much of the Prophet’s writings.
Israel was divided into 2 separate kingdoms after the death of Solomon--the Northern
Page 1
Kingdom, called Israel, and the Southern Kingdom called Judah, each with their own King.
Ephraim held the authority of the Birthright for all the tribes, because of the inheritance birthright being passed to him from Jacob--see I Chronicles 5:1–2 and Jeremiah 31:9. The Southern Kingdom included the major tribe of Judah, which held the ruling Scepter of all the tribes (see Genesis 49:10).
The term “Jew” refers to Judah only. It was a “nickname” that came out of their 70 years of captivity in Babylon. “Jew” was first used in Scripture in the book of Esther. It is a great tragedy that most people lump all the tribes under the title “Jew”. Anna, in Luke 2:36, was from the tribe of Asher!
From 1,000 BCE, the house of Israel and the Phoenician Empire had a great world trading industry. They set up colonies in such places as Western Europe, the British Isles and Ireland, America, North Africa, South Africa, Central and South America, early as 1,000BCE, until they were finally deported from the Land of Israel in 722 BCE and scattered from Assyria throughout all the world. There is much historical and archeological proof of their early colonizing.
In James 1:1, James (Ya’acob) refers to the 12 tribes (There are 12 tribes if you put Ephraim and Manasseh under the heading: “tribe of Joseph”). Paul, in Acts 26:6-7, refers to the hope of the 12 tribes. Ezekiel 48 gives the inheritance of each of the 12 tribes in the eternal Kingdom on earth. Levi has no tribal inheritance because Yahuweh is Levi’s inheritance. But, they are given cities to live in among the other tribes.
To lump all of the seed of Isaac and Jacob under the name of one tribe and one name, “Jew”, makes it appear that the other tribes are unimportant. But, the restoration is of the whole House of Jacob!
The Northern Kingdom of the House of Israel was finally totally scattered into the nations of the earth from the invasion and captivity by the Assyrians, around 722BCE (II Kings 17:6-24). They were no longer called Israel after that, but became known as “gentiles”--again another tragedy.
The Father spoke to me about 2 years ago: “All of My people outside of My Land are in captivity”. The house of Judah got so used to Babylon that they forgot that Babel was not their home, and after 70 years of being in captivity (in the Diaspora), few returned to the Land to rebuild it.
Judah, and a remnant of the other tribes, was exiled to Babylon around 586 BCE (II Kings 24:10-16). Some were scattered from there into the nations. They were also greatly scattered at the time of the destruction of their Temple in 70CE by the Romans. After the rebellion of the false messiah, Bar Kochba, in 132-133 CE, against Rome, the Jews were persecuted and fled from their homeland into many nations.
In Ezekiel 37 and other key passages, we see that the Father, the Elohim of Israel, is returning His tribes back to their inheritance in the Land of modern Israel. When Messiah comes, the tribes will have their land inheritance given to them, even though the distribution of land will be different in the future, as per Ezekiel 48. The two sticks of the two Houses are coming together in Father’s hands to make one stick--one nation, one people again, restored in Messiah Yahushua—the King over all of His people. (Zechariah 14:9)

SAMPLE SCRIPTURES ON THE RETURN OF THE TRIBES OF JACOB:
Isaiah: 2:1-4; 11:1-16; chapter 35; 43:4-6; 49:22; 52:6-10; chapter 54; 56:8, and chapter 62
Jeremiah: 3:12-19; 16:14-16; 23:3-8; 24:3-8; 30:7-10; 31:31-36; 32:37-42; and 33:7-26; 39:25-29; 50:4
Ezekiel: 11:16-20; 28:25-26; 34:11-16, 22-26; 36:24-28 with Hosea 1:10-11; 2:14-23
Amos 9:11-15; Zechariah 2:4-13; 12:1-10; 13:1; 14:1-5
Most of the promises of restoration, salvation and deliverance that are promised to His people will happen as He returns, and shortly after in His kingdom.
THE PRESERVATION OF A REMNANT OF ALL THE TRIBES DURING THE 3 ½ YEARS OF “JACOB’S TROUBLES”—(Jeremiah 30:7):
Edom: the place of preservation: Sela/Petra/Mt. Seir (the area of southern-mid
modern Jordan).
From Petra to Bozrah--two literal places in southern-mid modern Jordan.
The Horites (rock dwellers): Genesis 14:6; 36:20-21 (The father of the Horites was Mr.
Seir).
Edom (Esau’s land): Genesis 36:1, 8-9; the ancestry of Moab and Amman: Genesis
19:30-38.
Modern Jordan is divided into the 3 ancient people-group areas: Edom, Moab and
Amman. The two southern regions, still clearly marked by land boundaries (ancient
rivers), are the area that Father has and is allowing to be prepared for the fleeing of
His people, and the preservation of His marked remnant in the time of Jacob’s
troubles—Jacob was the father of all the tribes, not just of the “Jewish people”
of the tribe of Judah.
IMPORTANT SCRIPTURES REGARDING THE PRESERVATION OF THE SET-APART REMNANT IN THE “LATTER DAYS”:
Daniel 11:41; Revelation 12:6, 17; Isaiah 16:1-5; 33:14-17; 26:20-21 (“chambers” means “holes in the rocks”); 63:1-6; Zephaniah 2:3; Matthew 24:15-22 and Luke 21:20-21 (the “mountains” always referred to the Seir mountains of Edom, which are very high—to the East; the “wilderness” refers to the land east of the Jordan River); Isaiah 2:10-22 with Revelation 6:15-17; Jeremiah 30:23-31:3; Psalm 107:2-7, 29-30, 35-56; 108:9-13; Amos 9:9-13; Romans 11:25-29; and the book of Obadiah, plus other Scriptures on the destruction of Edom eventually, as He comes, from such passages as Jeremiah 49.
YAHUSHUA MESSIAH COMES FROM---HIS RETURN PATH:
East to West like lightening: Matthew 24:27
To Mt. Sinai: To the place of the original marriage covenant with Israel: Deuteronomy 33:2;
To Edom: Isaiah 63:1; Psalm 108:10 Regarding Edom at His coming in wrath: Isaiah 11:11-16; Jeremiah 49:7-22; Ezekiel 25:12-15; Joel 3:19-21; Amos 1:11;
Page 3
9:11-12; Malachi 1:4-5; and the book of Obadiah. Edom as a city and area is mentioned second only
to Jerusalem/Zion/Israel. It is a shelter for His people in the 3½ years of tribulation.
To Teman: Habakkuk 3:1-3; Amos 1:12
To Mt. Seir (Petra/Sela): Deuteronomy 33:2 (preservation in the caves of the ancient Horites, Esau’s people, and Nabateans—descendants of Esau and Ishmael’s daughter. (See Scriptures about hiding in the wilderness, Mt. Seir, and the caves in reference to the end days—above).
To Bozrah (“the sheep fold”): Isaiah 63:1; Micah 2:12; Jeremiah 49:22
To the Mt. of Olives: Zechariah 14:4-5 with Jude 14 and Revelation 19:11-16;
Regarding the “battle of Armageddon”: there isn’t any. Read the extent of it in Revelation 16:15-16; Rev. 17:14; Rev. 19:15-21 and 14:18-20. The nations assemble at Megiddo, in the Jezreel Valley north of Jerusalem, to come against Messiah and His set-apart people who are with Him. He speaks a Word, and it is over. (Zechariah 14:1-15)
SAMPLE SCRIPTURES REGARDING MESSIAH’S SECOND COMING:
Matthew 24:29-31; Revelation 19:11-16; Isaiah 63:1-6; Isaiah 40:3-10; Isaiah 34:1-8;
Isaiah 42:11-15; 59:16-28; Rev. 11:14-19 with I Corinthians 15:51-52 (at the “last trumpet”); I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Philippians 3:20-21; I John 3:1-3; Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43 and 47-50; John 5:25, 28-29; Daniel 12:1-3; Rev. 20:4-6; Rev. 6:12-13; Rev. 14:20, Jude 14-15, Zephaniah 1, Isaiah 2; Isaiah 13; Ezekiel 7 and many more
Yahushua comes with Yahuweh’s wrath. There is only a 3½-year tribulation spoken of in several verses in Scripture--not one verse in the Scriptures even alludes to a 7-year tribulation. The seals are conventional weapons, plagues, pestilence/disease, famine, and nature revolting, animal life revolting, signs in the heavens, and economic disaster. The trumpets are nuclear, devastatingly intense in nature and phenomenon in the planetary system. The vials are Father’s wrath. His wrath is over quickly, because no flesh can withstand His wrath. There is a big difference between the wrath of man, wrath of Satan, and the wrath of the Father. (See my article: “The Pattern of the Judgment of Yahuweh”.) Revelation 11 tells us that His wrath comes at the blowing of the seventh trumpet.
He will hide a marked remnant in the cave areas of Edom. Study the Word for yourself, hear the Ruach ha Kodesh for yourself, and find out what the Father has for you to do. Don’t waste your time on men’s opinions and books. Don’t waste your time fascinating your intellect with knowledge without radical lifestyle change. Truth demands change, or it falls to the ground as useless--a typical condition in these end times. (Isaiah 59:14) Get your information from the Yahuweh Himself through His Spirit. Be prepared to meet Him with joy and peace, because you have an intimate relationship with Him!
He will hide a set-apart marked remnant in the area of Edom and Moab--mostly in Edom.
Page 4
But, to be marked by Him is by His choosing alone. Father will preserve an “alive and remaining” remnant, but there will be many martyrs, as well as believers who die by man’s weapons, disease, and the “beasts of the earth”. The Word says that He will gather all His sheep into one sheepfold! Bozrah is called the “sheep fold”, and between there and Petra to its south, His people will be gathered for protection.
The Word clearly gives us guidelines of who is marked, who will be martyred, and who will fall away to the “Lawless One”. (See passages like Ezekiel 9:1-11; Revelation 3:7-14; 7:1ff, 14:1ff, 22:3-5)
Whose law, or guidelines of right ruling, will the anti-messiah break? -- Yahuweh’s guidelines, rules, statutes, teachings, instructions, and right-rulings of the Kingdom of Heaven, which He lays down for His set-apart people in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible). The terms of what He wants in a Bride—the terms of the marriage covenant—is the Ten Commandments.
“Sin is the transgression of the Torah”: I John 3:4. Therefore, lawlessness is to break the Kingdom teachings and instructions of Yahuweh’s Kingdom in heaven, which He will bringing to earth for eternity. We are either law-abiding citizens in the Kingdom of Yahuweh, or we are lawless rebels. Look at Matthew 7:21-23 carefully. Philippians 3:20 says that our citizenship is in heaven!
Our Father has provided in the land of Edom in these last days, as the prophetic Scriptures tell us in detail, the purest of water from an underground river, the best food without being genetically modified, or polluted with chemicals, good highways (like the King’s Highway, which has been completely repaired by a company from Rome), military protection, and all the provisions necessary for the preservation of His people for 42 months, 3 ½ years--in Edom and Moab.
We few here in Aqaba, Jordan on the Red Sea, have watched, for about 8-10 years, preparations being made by the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, the World Food Bank, the World Bank, The International Monetary Fund, and by personal investors from all over the world. They have put billions of dollars into this area--from the Port of Aqaba to the base of the Dead Sea--primarily from the Port of Aqaba to the area around “Petra”. It has been declared by the United Nations, 2001, as the disaster and famine relief area for the world. Edom--along with Moab--the Jordan Tourism Board tells us, has always been the “Land of Refuge”. The world’s most wealthy, powerful international elite leaders have been preparing this area--for themselves. (Revelation 6:14-17--look at the line-up)
Aqaba is a major international port with an up and coming international airport. It is zoned off from the rest of Jordan, not only as an economic zone for world investors, but also as a “first world” resort. It has been a center for peace treaties, and high-level meetings regarding the Middle East. The U.S. backed Road Map was launched in 2003 from Aqaba. Revelation 6:14-17 describes who will be in Petra during nuclear holocaust, and the coming of Yahushua in wrath. (Isaiah 2:17-22; 24:1-15) Preparations are being made here, and in the U.S., for the survival of the world’s leaders during nuclear holocaust. The World Food Bank has been storing grain from Aqaba to Petra since 1963, and now the
Page 5
United Nations is also sending in grain, which is stored in top-ground and underground granaries from Aqaba to Petra.
Water was found a few years ago, not far north of Aqaba, in an area called Disi. Thirty- five years worth of the purest water in the world, from an underground river, piped into Aqaba.
Aqaba is a special economic zone (ASEZA: Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority) with Israel and Egypt, taking goods to Iraq, as the Word in Isaiah 19 says it would be.
Preparations are well under way to in this zoned off area to receive hundreds of thousands of people in the time to come. The U.S. alone has invested billions of dollars into Aqaba. It is a military and economic base for America and the E.U. and the U.N., and for NATO, in this region.
The largest pension fund in the U.S. is the California worker’s pension fund. They have invested heavily in the Aqaba zone. Israel is investing heavily into this part of Jordan—into the ASEZA.
The U.S. has been bringing in their ships for a long time. Sometimes up to 5,000 soldiers go up the rebuilt King’s Highway into the Petra area to do military maneuvers with the Jordan military. The area around Petra has underground and top-ground military facilities.
The Petra area has approximately 30 square miles of caves, plus a gigantic area that can be used for tent-living, as the Bedouin people are using it now. The area from Petra (“Sela” in Hebrew) to Bozrah is a very fertile agricultural valley, with many crops, and many sheep, goats, camels, donkeys and other animals. In Isaiah 34:1-8, we see that the final battle, as Messiah comes to pick up His people will be at Bozrah—a land-chain connects it with Israel’s Jezreel Valley--Megiddo (Har Megiddo—English: Armageddon). Revelation 16:14-16; 19:17-19
Our Father has prepared an area, and made it clear to Lucifer (Satan in disguise as the “angel of light”—the “illumined one”) and all his “in-the-know” agents, that this area is not to be touched by anti-messiah or by Satan himself. (Daniel 11:41 and Revelation 12:14-17)
In fulfillment of Revelation 12:15-16, about 3 years ago, the World Bank put 55 million dollars into preparing the “Siq”—the gorge going into Petra--to protect it from water flooding, and to widen the Siq to facilitate more people going through it.
Just as boundaries and perimeters were put on Satan regarding Job’s life, so Father has put boundaries on Satan and his agents in this area, for the preservation of His marked set-apart ones of all the tribes, as well as for the “grafted in ones”, during the days when the whole earth will experience total devastation. Note: The land of Uz, where Job lived, is in the Petra area. (Job 1:1; Lamentations 4:21)
Nuclear holocaust is near--W.W. III. (Ask for my study sheet on “Nuclear Holocaust”.) The Word has much to say about it in modern terminology.
SCRIPTURES REGARDING NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST IN THESE LAST DAYS:
Matthew 24:22; Mark 13:19-20; Luke 17:26-29; Zephaniah 1:2, 18; 3:8; Isaiah 24:3, 5-6; Jeremiah 25:31; Isaiah 66:16; Ezekiel 21:4-5; and Zechariah 14:12--a perfect picture of nuclear blast
“FEW LEFT”: Isaiah 1:9; 6:11-13; 10:21-23; 13:9-13; 24:1-6; Deuteronomy 32:22; II Peter
Page 6
3:1-14; and II Peter 2:4-6 with Jude 7. “As Sodom and Gomorrah” appears many times in reference to destruction in the “last days”, because it was destroyed by fire out of heaven from top to bottom, from the Father’s arsenal, leaving everything reduced to a fine, powdery ash.
The Word speaks of a one-world government that is now ruling the world, and end-time events that are now happening. Matthew 24:22: “And if those days were not shortened, NO FLESH would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened”. We must find our security in His arms, and know Him intimately! (Jeremiah 9:23-24)
There are two places from which the House of Judah and the House of Israel will flee into Edom: One is “into the wilderness”, across the “wings of a great eagle”. Revelation 12:14-17
This “great eagle” is clearly seen in the topography of the Dead Sea and land eastward in Jordan, especially from the satellite map—picture taken from a U.S. craft orbiting the earth. The “eagle’s” head is in the Dead Sea, about where Masada is on the Israeli side. The head is now connected to the Israeli side, because of the Dead Sea drying up due to mineral mining. On the Jordanian side, the eagle’s two talons are clearly seen, and its wings spread out toward Aqaba and Amman--“feathering out” into the mountains, leading into Bozrah and Petra. The main highway, from the Dead Sea Highway east to the King’s Highway, comes between the talons of the “eagle”, and turns south onto the King’s Highway into Petra. (To learn more about the King’s Highway, ask for my article, taken from the Word, and from information from the chief Consulting Engineer on the project.)
In Isaiah 63:1-6, it says that Yahuweh comes with His wrath (in the Person of Yahushua) from Edom to Bozrah. In Isaiah 40:3, we see that He comes up through the Arabah (desert from the base of the Dead Sea to the Red Sea) proceeding northward from Sinai, along a prepared Highway.
A remnant of the whole House of Jacob (all the tribes) will also come through the Port of Aqaba, and then up the King’s Highway into Petra. The King’s Highway is the same highway that Moses and the children of Israel walked on, going past Petra (Hebrew: Sela), north to Amman. There are engineering specs in Isaiah to the modern Roman road builders of the King’s Highway. Now the highway has connected to a northern highway that goes through northern Iraq, northern Iran, northern Pakistan, northern Afghanistan, and into China. It is a now part of a military highway inside China. The Port of Aqaba will be the thoroughfare for all the “refugees” from all over the world. Mixed in will be the remnant of the whole House of Jacob.
Around 950 BCE, under the reign of King Solomon, a fleet of ships was constructed on the Gulf at Eliat, Israel, across from Aqaba, which sailed into ancient America up the rivers, which empty into the Gulf of Mexico--into the heartland of America--bringing back gold, silver, copper, bronze, jewels, timber and other goods for the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem, as well as the construction of Solomon’s palace. This is archeologically proven. The House of Israel, coupled with the navigation empire of the Phoenicians, actually ruled the trade and economic world in those days.
In these last days, the House of Judah and the House of Israel will flee out of North
Page 7
America basically through the Gulf of Mexico into the Port of Aqaba. The sea “paths” or “trade routes” in the ocean are the same now as they were in Solomon’s time. There are “paths in the sea” also from Central and South America. Solomon sailed ships into Brazil. Brazil comes from the Hebrew word for “iron”. From that area he brought back iron to Israel. Tin came from England. Many Israelite and Phoenician ships (for Israel and Phoenicia were in a trade pact) went out to Western Europe (colonizing Spain and Portugal, France, the British Isles, Ireland, Denmark, areas of North Africa (building Carthage, for example), and through the Straits of Gibraltar into the north area of the United States.
From all over the United States, from Alaska, from Maine, the Father has prepared a network of believers (some beginning back in the 1970’s) to temporarily shelter the Jews as they have to flee south. From all over the British Isles, Ireland, parts of Finland, Russia, and other countries, people are making “safe houses” for Jews and Israelites to flee to safety from the anti-Messiah. This end-time phenomenon is amazing, because it is the Ruach (the Spirit of Yahuweh) who is networking people together to help the set-apart ones flee to safety. Many of these set-apart ones, will find salvation in the “wilderness” of Edom and Moab, and be prepared to meet their Messiah at His “second coming”.
In this wilderness, the Bride of Messiah will learn to “lean on her beloved”. In this wilderness, the house of Judah will learn about their Messiah Yahushua (name means: I am salvation). In this wilderness, the house of Israel (the 10 tribes) will be the 10 of Zechariah 8:23—grabbing hold of the garment of a Jew, to learn about the Torah and the ways of Yahuweh. It is in this wilderness that the house of Israel, who has received Messiah Yahushua as Savior, will minister the knowledge of Yahushua to the house of Judah—so that the Jews can come to salvation and deliverance in the Messiah they did not know. In this wilderness, the house of Judah will teach the house of Israel about set-apartness through the Kingdom teachings of Yahuweh in His Torah. This is where the whole house comes together in unity around both Messiah and the set-apart standards of the Kingdom of heaven. This is the place of preparation for the whole house of Jacob (all the tribes) to come together in love, and understanding and in power. Here is where He reveals Himself to His people in an intimate way. It is for this set-apart remnant that Messiah comes. Here, the 144,000 from the tribes of Jacob, move in power and glory with the two witnesses of Revelation 11. The preservation of the remnant in this wilderness joins His people together in the love of the Ruach (Spirit of Yahuweh) and in the Bridegroom Messiah Yahushua. I had a powerful dream in which I watched the separation of the tribes just before they went into Petra. (“Petra” is Greek for rock”—and is the equivalent of “Sela” in Hebrew). In this wilderness His people learn to know Him, to love Him, to depend on Him, to be united together as one in Him. The prayer of our Messiah in John 17 will be fulfilled in this wilderness! Read it—think about it. This is where He “traps” His people—so that they have to get things straight, repent totally, and prepare for the Kingdom. It is here that both the house of Judah and the house of Israel learn what it means to know Yahuweh as their Elohim. It is where his set-apart ones finally keep the commandments—the terms of the marriage covenant—and truly learn what it means to have “no other gods in His face”.

In the 1st century CE, and long before, except for the centuries of the “dark ages”, Jews have known who the House of Israel was, and where they settled after being scattered from 722BCE. Today, they know that the House of Israel is in primarily found in large numbers, as the sand of the sea and the stars of the heavens, in the “Christian nations” of the West. For the most part, they still think they are gentiles unfortunately. This is the story of the prodigal son (the house of Israel, Joseph, Ephraim) and the elder brother (Judah), of Luke 15:11-32.
Large pockets of Israelites settled in the British Isles, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, some Scandinavian countries, and in North America and parts of South America. Other pockets of Israelites are found in Russia, the former Soviet Union nations, Turkey, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, China, South Asia, and South Africa, even in Egypt, India, and areas of ancient Persia. The great Parthian Empire was an Israelite empire, ruled by the house of David. Modern history talks about Greece and Rome, yet the Parthian Empire was always defeating Rome, as was the Israelite Empire of Carthage. Israelites were hidden in a few of the northeastern American Indian tribes. The Mayan civilization and the ancient Columbian civilization, for example, were ancient Israelite establishments.
Orthodox Jews and Messianic Jews have done much research to locate the big areas of the tribes of Israel. Their work has had tremendous success. Now, the Levite males, descended from Kohath and Aaron, have been set-apart by knowledge of the DNA--having a special difference in the Y chromosome. That’s part of what Revelation 7:1-8 is all about--the distinguishing of the individual tribes. Sometime before we reach Messiah’s return, the individual tribes will be distinguished—as per Revelation 7, as well as the Kingdom promises to the Apostles in Matthew 19:28-29, and such passages as Ezekiel 48:30 with Revelation 21:10-12.
Let us pray for the remnant that is now being marked and who will be alive and remain until the coming of the King. Let us pray for the faithfulness of those who will be martyred.
Let us pray for our part in His great Aliyah, (the re-gathering of His People to the Land of Israel) because He is bringing His people home! HalleluYah!!
As long as is possible, planes and ships can bring the House of Judah home to the Land of Israel, until war prevents that, into the ports off of the Mediterranean. Zechariah tells us that He will save the “tents of Judah” first. He is bringing back Judah (Jews) now to His Land. There are now (2005) more Jews in Israel than in America.
There are networks stationed by the Father through Western Europe, and Russia, Finland, and parts of the old Soviet Union, to facilitate getting His people “home”. Once those Mediterranean ports are closed, and the ports of nations are destroyed, the only port left for getting His people to safety will be the Port of Aqaba.
Daniel 11:41: In this passage concerning the 3 ½ years under a one world ruler--called “the Lawless One”, the “Anti-Messiah”, “the Beast”, or “the man of sin”--we find this verse: “And he shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Amman.” “The glorious land” is also called, in Hebrew, “the land of delight, or the ornament, or the goodly land”--in other words, Israel.
Page 9
The “chief of the sons of Amman” have already made their preparations. Other Arab national rulers are making their preparation for the holocaust to come. The King of Jordan has moved his family down to a palace on the Red Sea. His half-brother, Prince Hassen, has built a fine palace home near the outskirts of Petra. Other sheiks and Arab rulers of major Arab countries are now building palaces in the Aqaba area.
Moab runs from the base of the Dead Sea up about 2/3 of the way to the top of the Dead Sea. This is the thoroughfare area. Like the Word says in Isaiah 16, the border of Moab will be zoned off, and people will have to beg to get into Moab. There is already a military checkpoint on that ancient border – at what is Biblically known as the “fords of Arnon”--Wadi Arnon. It is a river that empties into the Dead Sea from a canyon through the mountains. It is known as the Wadi Majib in Arabic. This is the ancient border between Moab and Edom (Numbers 21:13, 24).
Jordan and Israel have some very strong ties in economic pacts, as well as peace-pacts. Yes, such agreements break down in times of disaster. But, again, the Father is in control, and He has let Lucifer/Satan (worshipped as Lucifer by the world’s elite illuminist rulers) know that he can only go so far, and that His set-apart ones will be preserved in the land of His choosing. That is why no anti-messiah or devil can touch His anointed, marked ones!
When Messiah comes, Edom and Moab will be destroyed totally to the ground (the book of Obediah for example). This little 1-chapter book tells of the whole house of Jacob coming together to destroy the enemies of Yahuweh and His people. The whole house of Esau will be destroyed forever.
“Esau is Edom”: Genesis 36:8. Esau, brother of Jacob, who hated his brother so much, will have no remnant left. Esau drove out the Horites and took over what we now call the Petra area. Bozrah was the ancient capitol of Edom. (See Edom’s end at the coming of Messiah: Isaiah 34:5-8; Jeremiah 49:7-18)
The details are coming together fast. Seek Him--obey His Word, and develop a relationship with Him that is intimate, trusting, knowing. The majority of the world’s people will take the identification mark of the one world ruler in order to save their lives. It is time to prepare to stand faithful to Him.
Shalom and love,
Yedidah

APPENDIX: The World Community’s Plans for Aqaba and Eilat
A long time ago, the world community made plans for this area…as far back as the late 1800’s. Now, in February 2006, the plans have begun to make the Eilat/Aqaba area an international “PEACE PORT”. The fulfillment of Ezekiel 47 is now being worked on—a plan that fulfills many other Scriptures also.
This information is from THE NEW MIDDLE EAST, by Shimon Peres (1993). In this book, long-time Israeli political leader and one time Prime Minister Shimon Peres, gives the plans for the Aqaba, Jordan/Eilat, Israel Port on the Red Sea of the international community. Most likely without knowing it, he gives the plans of the world community that will fulfill in detail Ezekiel 47, and other Scriptures like Isaiah 19:23-24.
I was in the Half Price Books, in Ft. Worth, Texas, in late January of 2006, looking through the “clearance section”. I saw Peres’ name. I pulled out the book and opened it. In front of me was the section entitled “Canal”. I stood there numb, reading the plans for Aqaba and Eilat that I have been watching in the making for almost seven years.
On January 29, 2006, someone in Aqaba e-mailed me to tell me that the canal for the marina and the Red Sea/Dead Sea connection had its official opening that day. I saw the beginning of this project in October 2005 before I returned to the U.S.
I will quote here from several pages of this book, to show you that what we have been
watching was indeed already set in plans, even in a vision and dream from the visionary of Zionism, Theodore Hertzl.
Regarding Ezekiel 47:1-14: Ezekiel is shown the water breaking forth from under the Temple Mount (most likely from the Gihon Springs) in East Jerusalem, running through the divided Mount of Olives, (divided at Messiah’s coming—Zechariah 14:1-12). The water runs from the Temple Mount to the Jordan River, flowing through the Jordan at such a swift pace, that the Dead Sea is flushed out and becomes a fresh-water lake. Fish are abundant, coming in from the water flowing to the Mediterranean Sea. A canal is cut from the end of the Dead Sea clear down the Arava (the great depression of the Rift Valley fault) to the Red Sea. A canal also takes water from the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean. This area is a very productive fruit-tree bearing area, as well as having all sorts of fish for a thriving fishing industry. It causes the desert to bloom with trees, fruit, and all sorts of wonderful things in Yahushua’s paradise on earth.
In reading this passage literally, there are several problems. This passage has been allegorized and spiritualized, and twisted out of shape, so that few people realize that this is really happening now in 2006.
The first problem is that in driving in a car or riding in a bus from the base of the Dead Sea to the Red Sea town of Eilat, for example, it takes a person at least two hours. There is nothing in the Araba but rocks, dirt, sand and a few scraggly trees and shrubs. There is nothing to channel water. It is the Negev Desert. From the base of the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean is also the same kind of desert. Therefore, water would be quickly absorbed into the ground and never reach its destination.
HOWEVER—The World Bank and other investors have invested over two billion dollars, and now the project has begun to cut channels for the water going both directions—in the hopes of starting a thriving fishing industry, and enriching the desert with fruit, and other
Page 11
crops. The hope also is that both Jordan and Israel will have a mutual desalination project, to provide clean water from salt water.
What is being cut also, right now, is a resort marina, with a yacht port, 3,000 expensive homes, five star hotels, and entertainments, malls, and markets, to facilitate a growing
population. The U.S. has said that they expect between 300,000 and 400,000 people to move into that region within the next few years.
The borders will soon come down between Eilat and Aqaba, making it one big resort area.
This project will also fulfill Isaiah 19:23-24—the creation of an economic zone with Egypt, Israel, and Jordan, with a highway going north and east to Iraq. The Highway is the “King’s Highway” and it has been rebuilt in the last 8 years by a company from Rome. It now goes from the Port of Aqaba, connects past Petra, onward to Amman, then East all the
way to the Silk Road of China, where it is a military highway within China. All of this fulfills the Word of Yahuweh to the smallest detail.
This same company is also expanding the airport, as is mentioned in this book, so that it will eventually facilitate both Aqaba and Eilat.
Here is my assignment from Isaiah 28:5-6: “In that day, Yahuweh of hosts is for a crown of splendor and a head-dress of comeliness to the remnant of His people, and a spirit of right-ruling to him who sits in right-ruling, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate”. (Also Amos 5:15). The word “gate” means seaport, land border, gateway, or in
our modern terminology, airport. The word “strength” is “geber”. The ancient name for this area was Ezion Geber—“the backbone of the mighty warrior”. Solomon built ships at Ezion Geber--I Kings 9:26—and sailed them to Brazil (Hebrew for “iron”) and into the three rivers of Texas (Guadalupe, Brazos and Trinity), and brought back goods for the building of the Temple and his house. From this port, the remnant of His people from all over the world will follow the ancient trade routes of Solomon, and return to safety in this “PEACE PORT”.

FROM: THE NEW MIDDLE EAST (Remember Peres is writing in 1993)
Page 138: “All countries of the region will be granted free access to the major ports on the Mediterranean and along the Red Sea. A joint Eilat-Aqaba port could also be established at the mouth of the Red Sea-Dead Sea canal. The free trade area will house light industry, trade centers, entertainment, and administrative and marketing services. In the first stage, these areas will be under the jurisdiction of the countries in which they are located, but ultimately they will come under the centralized management of the regional community and will receive interregional status”. (Now this is an international center, overseen by the United States, the E.U., and the U.N., with a set-apart zone—ASEZA—AQABA SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE—overseen by the U.S. It is also an international military base for the U.S. military).
Page 139: “Two ports sit on the northern coast of the Gulf of Eilat (Aqaba)—Eilat, which is Israeli and Aqaba, which is Jordanian. Eilat and Aqaba are twin cities, stationed on either side of a sealed border”.
Page 140: “This situation will change dramatically with the signing of the peace accord. (Peres is talking about the September 13, 1993, seven-year Oslo Peace Accord).
When the walls of hostility come tumbling down, there will be no need for separate ports. Uniting them will enlarge the beach, improve the sea and land environments, and open the
Page 12
way for high-level cooperation between Israel and Jordan. The joint port will be established at the southern tip of the canal. Perhaps even in the first stage it can be
jointly managed by representatives of both nations, under the supervision of an Eilat-Aqaba Port Authority. Later the port and the free trade center (to be built at the port) will be operated by the regional system, with its independent port and air authorities. A common port here will also eliminate the need for an ecologically and economically costly railroad extension through the mountainous terrain that encircles these cities.
The Gulf of Eilat is at the juncture of Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and it is not far from the Saudi Arabian border. This is an ideal location for a major international airport that will serve these four countries”.
Pages 141-147: “CANAL”
“The Red Sea-Dead Sea canal is a large project that will take advantage of most of the blessings of peace. A joint port—THE PORT OF PEACE—will be built at the southern end.
The canal is a multipurpose project. It is intended to transport water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, replacing the water Israel and Jordan divert to the Jordan and Yarmuk rivers for irrigation”. (Israel has established “fish farming” on the Yarmuk River next to the Golan Heights, on the Jordan/Syria border).
“The water will cascade into the Dead Sea from the cliffs above, and the power generated
by the difference in altitude will be harnessed for electricity. One possibility we should explore is desalination: a combined system of generating electricity and desalting some of the water used to manufacture electricity could lower the cost of desalination for other purposes”.
“Even those who do not accept Zionist teachings cannot but wonder at Theodore Herzl’s vision of a Red Sea canal in his utopian work, Old New Land. Herzl pictured a dual-purpose canal that would transport water from the Mediterranean to the north of the Dead Sea. From Herzl’s book, `The guide explains the technology of brining water from the Mediterranean and having it plunge into the Dead Sea, over 900 hundred feet below. The power stations attract industries, and the canal brings new life to the Dead Sea’”.
Peres writes: “The government of Israel has tried to fulfill Herzl’s vision. Other proposals to dredge a canal from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan Valley were submitted.
In the negotiations now being conducted between Israel and Jordan (1993), the Red Sea-Dead Sea canal has been discussed as a joint project backed with international funding. Bolstering peace between Israel and Jordan, the canal would receive reasonable financing with international guarantees. The entire project would take at least eight years.” (They are saying now that it will take ten years).
“The details are not yet fully formulated, but the main concept is clear: Israel and Jordan will lengthen the Eilat-Aqaba port and create an artificial bi-territorial gulf at the southern end of two cities”. (THIS WAS OFFICIALLY OPENED JANUARY 29, 2006 FOR CONSTRUCTION).
“ON THE GULF, ISRAEL AND JORDAN WILL BUILD THEIR PORT OF PEACE. Before the port goes into operation, the existing ports will be dismantled, as will the Eilat-Ashqelon oil line”. (This has been happening—the dismantling of the port of Aqaba—starting with
Page 13
the downsizing of it now).
“Water from the canal will be drawn from the artificial port and propelled northward,
along the length of the Arava Depression. With the help of several pumping stations, the water will reach heights of almost 720 feet. It will then travel east to Jordan and continue north to power three electrical generators. The water will then veer west, back toward Israel, where it will power another three electrical stations, wind around the potash pools of the Dead Sea industries, and enter the sea.
The canal will also benefit tourism and farmed fish production. Israeli experts foresee tremendous growth in fish farming, from almost no profits today to hundreds of millions of dollars annually within fifteen years. To satisfy this demand we must develop artificial lakes and ponds to breed fish. Almost all the water needed for this new industry can be recycled (taken from the hydroelectric plant and later returned to it) fish farming will be
a profitable by-product of the canal project and will require almost no additional capital. The water from the fish ponds will travel in the canal to the Dead Sea, where the organic matter in the water will decompose with the help of naturally occurring bacteria and mineral”.
“Politically, this earthshaking enterprise can help maintain peace and establish mutual long-term interests. This benefits not only the nations of the Middle East but those outside the region also”.
The water will flow along the Araba, the power stations will give light and the wastelands will bloom with life. The region will experience peace, serenity, and progress. People from other countries will use the sea port and airport, visit the spas and vacation centers, and enjoy the products of our flourishing desert”.
In contrast to the political history, nature has linked Israel and Jordan with four shared geographical assets: The Jordan River, the Dead Sea, the Arava Depression that lies between the Dead and Red Seas, and the Red Sea shore.
Cooperation will revitalize the Dead Sea and transform it into a tremendous source of income, benefiting Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinians. Alongside its curative powers and beauty aids, the sea produces potash, bromine, magnesium and salt. The Arava—that long stretch of wilderness which already is dotted with flourishing settlements that grow out-of-season fruit—can attract tourists from all over the world”. (According to Ezekiel 47:12, the trees that line the river will produce fruit all year long. The leaves of the trees will be for healing).
“The dry hot climate and unique scenery, which changes complexion with the coming of dawn and dusk, will be the backdrop for new lakes that will pepper the land as part of the canal project. Tourists will be astonished at the vivid, natural beauty of the area, which combines the near-forgotten aura of a primeval world with the conveniences of modern-day development. And the Red Sea is a shining jewel, resting in the shade of its crowing mountains, with magnificent coral and kaleidoscopic fish”.
“The Red Sea will change not only economically and ecologically but also strategically. The situation is different in the Red Sea basin, where conditions are ripe for changing the Red Sea into a calm, blue body of water”.
“The Sea can contribute to tourism (fishing and vacationing) as well as freight and oil transport. The Red Sea is a long and narrow gulf. Because it is narrow, we can bridge it
Page 14
with peace”.
Under: “Tourist Attractions”, besides mentioning Petra: “Some local development
projects will automatically attract tourists, such as the fishing port at Gaza, the PORT OF PEACE AT EILAT-AQABA, and the Red Sea-Dead Sea canal”.
Page 132: “The water that will irrigate the fields of the Middle East and quench the thirst of its people will help produce the fruits of peace”. He then quotes Isaiah 41:18-19. “If roads lead to civilizations, then water leads to peace”. (All italics above are mine)
I will stop at this. The peace treaty between Jordan and Israel was signed at the Arava border between Aqaba and Eilat on October 26, 1994.
The international community’s plans for this “REGION” of the Middle East are now rapidly being fulfilled. The world has been divided up into ten economic regions. These ten regions will each have a “king” (ruler) over them. These are the ten horns that join with
the anti-messiah (Rev. 17) The ten regions are called the “ten kingdoms” by the United Nations.
I have been praying and “guarding the port” for the plans of the Father since 1999. Now, I see the plans that He is allowing to take place. When Messiah comes, there will be a great earthquake. This will break the water loose under the Temple Mount. It will gush out into the Jordan, and down through the Dead Sea, down through the Arava to the Red Sea, and across through to the Mediterranean sea. It is exciting that the “wealth of the wicked is being laid up for the just” to prepare and fulfill all that the Father will finish when Messiah comes. We are privileged to live in such an astounding day as this!
